About this Plugin

Image and video gallery from Google Drive is a plugin for WordPress that connects your site to your Google Drive. With this plugin, you can select any folder in your Drive or a Shared drive and the plugin will convert it into a gallery, displaying any photos or videos in a page or a post on your website. Any folders and their subfolders will also be displayed in the gallery as nested galleries.

Static WordPress Challenge

This plugin depends on live, request-time WordPress/PHP functionality such as sessions, authenticated visitors, or dynamic endpoints. Its core visitor-facing features do not work on a static WordPress site. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio changes that compatibility verdict. Use a separate hosted, headless, or external service if the plugin's use case offers one.
